Injector Provides Next-Level Performance,
Durability and Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Graco Inc. (NYSE: GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid
handling equipment, today announced the launch of the GCI™ Series
injector platform for single-line parallel automatic lubrication
systems. The lubrication industry’s first cartridge injector, Graco
GCI establishes a new level of durability and serviceability by
delivering up to two times the life of current injectors while
cutting replacement time from minutes to seconds. The new design
doubles the output of current injectors in its class at a lower
cost for unprecedented uptime and savings on labor costs.

The GCI Series injector platform is
available in two- to six-bank aluminum and high-pressure steel
manifold options, using the same mounting pattern as existing
injector technology while taking up a smaller footprint. Locked-in
color-coded output spacers dictate the amount of grease dispensed
per lubrication cycle, reducing the likelihood of incorrect field
adjustments during a repair. Quick-exchange injectors deliver up to
.150 cubic inches of grease at an accuracy level of +/- 3% and have
a high-visibility 360-degree view indicator pin that enables easier
troubleshooting. (Photo: Business Wire)
“A significant step forward for automatic lubrication
technology, Graco GCI was developed with special considerations for
both construction and mining maintenance professionals,” said Shane
Norman, Graco’s Lubrication Equipment Division global product
marketing manager. “With simplicity at the core of its design, GCI
significantly reduces replacement installation time, requiring only
a single wrench and eliminating the need to disconnect lube lines.
This new streamlined cartridge injector design leverages
state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to deliver greater life.
The unprecedented level of durability creates the opportunity to
slash the number of injector replacements, parts costs and service
downtime frequency to keep machines up and running.”
